Tapastic Ad Revenue Program Details!

[yvettegustafsson]

This is a wonderful initiative! I love love love it. Tapastic is such a wonderful place to be and you (the creators) are giving it so much heart <3 You're helping others while helping yourself and that is such a great way to be

Thanks for making the Ad Revenue program open to all creators (over 18)! And where can I get a sweet mug like that?

[stevemyers773]

I agree, I think ad based revenue for creators is the wave of the future, but as much as I love what Tapastic is doing, I think it's going to have to be more in the 50-70 percent range to see a real 'living' being made off of sites that pay creators. Youtube just boosted theirs to 50 I think I read....and it still takes a lot, but this is a really awesome thing for Tapastic to be doing, especially with the sponsorships from other readers, combining a model like Patreon with Youtube is an absolute step in the right direction............now i just need a way to get fans...lol

Is there a link to an faq or chart that shows the 'rates' for the Ad Impressions?

Like how many Impressions /Ad views are needed for One cent? Honest question

[taihendechu]

I'm not sure if I got your post right... but this is copied from the Ad Revenue FAQs:

Q: What is Tapastic’s commission from the Ad Revenue Program?
A: We currently take flat 30% of Ad Revenue to cover our operating costs.

[stevemyers773]

So maybe I flipped the numbers and they pay 70 percent to creators??? if so, that's damn amazing

[stevemyers773]

was the livestream supposed to be uploaded to Youtube at some point?

[feyuca]

Yes, we're still editing it though! Sorry for the delay. Follow bitly.com/tapasticvid to be updated!

And yes, 70% to creators. Here's a link for easy access.

Hot diggity! Had to stay up to 2 o'clock at night, but it was worth it! (amsterdamn-time) Who needs sleep anyway. But that was fun! Awesome to watch those drawings and listen. Better than those boring Apple-talks. Keep it up guys!

Hey Studiomik! Thanks for staying up late and tuning into the livestream! I really appreciate it!! Hope to see you at the next one.

A weird thing I noticed with AdBlocker: Even if I have it disabled on Tapastic, the ads on comics only show up sometimes when I refresh the page, and sometimes it acts like I still have AdBlocker on. I had to completely disable it on my Chrome browser for ads to properly show up. I don't really mind since I have it disabled on most sites I frequent anyway cause, well... supporting people. But I wanted to bring that to attention in case this is popping up for other people.

We have been experiencing a few issues caused by AdBlocker but a majority of those pertain to the AdBlockers themselves. Because of this a lot the fixes are out of hands, sorry about that!

I have earned my first money here =) Dats wats up!

Congratz man!

I know it's not much and I have a long way to go, BUT considering that when I began my comic I never expected to make any money, I'm pretty stoked about it

Yeah! I'm glad we could work together to make that a possibility.

[taihendechu]

if so, that's damn amazing

Yep, it is :3
Good guy tapastic! (Why no one made this meme yet??)

[AlkseeyaKC]

I've made 9 cents! you guys are more popular them me. o .o
It will take me like a year before I can take anything. lol

[UzukiCheverie]

It will take me like a year before I can take anything. lol

Well that's the beauty of Ad Revenue! Unlike the supporter program where it just depends on who wants to give you money, ad revenue grows as your readership grows So just work hard to get more readers in and keep them coming in every day, and that 9 cents will be something much bigger some day! ^ ^ <3

That's a fantastic programm and I think tapastic's cut of the money is very modest, so thank you for that!

There's one thing though which bothers me a bit - tapastic encourages users to get the mobile app, but the app
doesn't display ads. Isn't this actually bad for tapastic? So far the only ways for tapastic to gain money are
support, premium and ads, which are all turned off in the app.

[michaelson]

We'll be adding mobile ads soon.

What's important to note is that mobile ads have a much higher payout than native web ads. We'll also be adding support and premium to mobile All in due time.

[MaiStarberries]

I will be eagerly awaiting mobile ads then. xD

[thecokers]

Is the Tapastic YouTube channel still active? It says the last video was uploaded over a year ago.

[taihendechu]

Another milestone to be excited about. Tapastic becomes a bit more amazing every day, thank you for that!
I think especially the App holds so much potential for ad revenue and getting the name out there. I wanna hear people mentioning Tapastic when it comes to webcomics as they mention Google when it comes to finding stuff.

[stevemyers773]

I think it is, someone told me they're working on putting up the Picarto livestream, so I'm eagerly awaiting that since I missed it

[MoiAri]

Uhh this sounds real nice and all, has me excited thats for sure, been working twice as hard to get my comic done, but just one question i need answered and truly sorry if i just missed it or something...

But how many Ad Views (or 'impressions') Are needed to make $1? Does it depend or vary from each individual ad or even person or something ? Its just odd to me that there is no solid rate to base this off of. Or at least one i cant seem to find. the article^^"

Thanks for your time Tapastic staff guys.
